@botwiki there's two I want to make, but I got stuck trying to figure it out. one is a bot that converts old graal online levels to .png files to post, and I think probably just needs a python library for posting to mastodon. the one I found at the time was not maintained so idk if there's an up to date one now or not

@botwiki the second bot would be to take short lua scripts posted by users and evaluate the image described. I've not figured out a good way to sandbox this for local hosting, and I'm also not sure there's a cost effective way to cloud host it either.

@aeva Both great ideas! You might want to consider joining the https://botmakers.org Slack group. A bit quiet these days, but there's always someone happy to help out.

@botwiki are there other resources you recommend? I'm in too many discords and discord-likes

@aeva I hear you!

There's always Botwiki: https://botwiki.org/resource/guide/the-definitive-guide-to-creative-botmaking/

And I wrote a few tutorials about Pipedream, which makes making bots a bit easier, if you're interested: https://stefanbohacek.com/tag/pipedream-com/

@botwiki I keep meaning to, but life gets in the way!

@nickdrawthing Maybe you could start by bringing some of your existing bots over from Twitter?

nickdrawthing, 8 months ago

@botwiki definitely the plan. I need to set aside a long weekend to do the migration and conversion.

@nickdrawthing Good luck! And don't forget that https://botmakers.org is still around if you ever get stuck!
